I raised this as another thread but didn't get a reply from anybody saying if any of the Finarea/Betamax providers provide a "proper" (i.e. geographic) incoming UK number. They certainly used to.

I didn't think it was a real name! Had wondered where you'd gone, was all. |

Contact me for details if you require one. -- Worried about debt? [url]http://www.cccs.co.uk[/url] |

Couldn't you get a proper number..?[/color] 1) BetaMax says it's a Voip-In number they're selling you, *before* you confirm you purchase. 2) Not sure what you mean by a "proper number", but you get a 0845/4, a national number, or a regional one, at [url]www.pimpmynumber.co.uk[/url], and they use SIP to forward to a Voip provider (other than Betamax, that is).

Am I wrong?? Jose |

You just entered your username and @sip.voipdiscount.com and it worked same with the other Betamax VoIP services. You paid nothing for the local number and no monthly fees, and no costs for it SIP forwarding. -- Worried about debt? [url]http://www.cccs.co.uk[/url] |
